起初 神創造天地。地是空虛混沌．淵面黑暗．神的靈運行在水面上。神說、要有光、就有了光。神看光是好的、就把光暗分開了。神稱光為晝、稱暗為夜．有晚上、有早晨、這是頭一日。
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water. God said, “Let there be light.” And there was light! God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.
